This is an upstream problem that i’ve reported upstream:https://github.com/openAVproductions/openAV-Sorcer/issues/22 We cannot build the sources with either of the Faust releases, so there’s little we can do on our end.

OK, thanks. Good that you brought it upstream, but a bit unfortunate that there wasn't an issue in debbugs.
Is there a policy regarding known unbuildable packages? Perhaps there could be a mechanism that would spare users from attempting to have the un-buildable build, which may involve stopping a `guix package -u` or a `guix package -m manifest-file` in its tracks ...
